Is it harassment to make fun of someone's accent, or to call them a "Muslim Extremist"? What about telling them "go back where you came from?"

I believe that we all can change the world for the better. People need advocates who can fight for their rights, and I that is what I hope the newly founded Houk Law Firm will represent... "Changing the world one case at a time."

We have recently launched our website at www.houklawfirm.com, and I've updated some articles I've posted in the past. I am also creating videos on local issues and organizations that are also working to create a better world.

I will be writing more than I have in the past, and hope you will find these post valuable and engaging.
